A friend is somebody you want to be around when you feel like being yourself"
-Barbara Burrow
"There are only 2 people who I've totally been able to be myself around and not care, yet I don't feel that actually means those two people are my FRIENDS. Friends also need to be there and be loyal.
~Cory knew everything about me. He knew every last flaw, but truely loved me for the person I am. He cared about me and knew every last insecurity I posses. Without a word, he knew if I was happy, sad, mad, or scared. I was too late to see what I had and now he's gone. Friendships don't just dissappear like that, so was our friendship even existant?
~Then there's Emily, my other half and best friens. I am always myself around her and we have so0o much fun. Sometimes, though, I question our "sisterhood." The simplest things, like calling me back or telling me she can't do what we planned, she "forgets." People say she talks about me all the time, and I never even thought about that being true. I guess, now maybe. I've seen her not be able to tell someone she's mad at them or doesn't like them, and maybe she puts on a front for me, too. I mean she is a great person, at least the person I know. It's crazy how similar, yet totally different we are. We are like night and day, but then again, not.
Today, Amanda made me realize controversy is a huge waste of time. We only live once and friends are extremely important...so why do people still do dumb stuff to start things?? It's funny how one moment I'm pissed off cuz her n monica took my idea for Mr. ICHS, and the next I'm seeing the inevitable.
To conclude my *DEEP* expression, I must say Barbara Burrow was wrong with her quote about a friend. A friend is so much more than someone you can act yourself around. A friend is way more in depth and complex!
Much*Love,
